Hawaiian Folklore is so fricking metal!

Just look up Tūtū Pele :)

Leave them with nothing.

scorched earth!

The post was about artists, so…

Lol, 1 liter is nothing. But yeah okay, it could be a liter of water for the poor thirsty AI data centres.

Grow up.

Why?

Sweet peak consumerism.

Why does Gemini even require TLS/SSL to begin with?

to facilitate TOFU.

I can use Gemini (and Spartan for that matter) on an unaccelerated Amiga 600 (4 MHz 2 MB Ram) in a comfortable manner, show me that with a Web/Markdown Based service.

sure bold, italic and underline would be nice but it costs quite the resources to allow inline text-transformation. Numbered List, just put a Number after the Bullet Point.

Honestly, I expect Gemini to remain a niche thing pretty much forever.

It does not offer what a regular user wants: a convenient, interactive, extensible, multipurpose Web. For most, it’s incredibly boring and outdated. Even worse that it requires its own browser or translation through the local server.

which is EXACTLY the point of Gemini. Focus is on the content. And well, you need a dedicated browser for the web as well.

tlgs exists, and I believe that it aint the only one.

Build search engines that only index pages that contain the smolweb headers defined in the standard

and how do you propose to impose that? Heck robots.txt doesn’t even seem to be honored!

I don’t know, this blog posts reads like “I hate everything that makes Gemini Gemini (unable to commercialize, limited gemtext capabilities, TOFU and TLS) , but I actually do like it.”

Then what are we waiting for?

Slim chance of success?

You mean some kind of a star trek?

Praised be Lathander, for you, your family and neighbors are safe!

That Vampire Lord clings to the old ways but has to go on with the times, I love it.
